While the hook of this post is converting a Ripped DVD to Movie Maker 2 it should be noted that many other file types may be used as the source video. Where the guide should be of most use is in detailing compression settings that should lead to the creation of an avi file that is bioth small, high quality and suitable for use in Movie Maker 2.
